I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

After receiving the notification, Gu Yifan waited patiently for a while.

But after the system notification, nothing happened.

"No, I've waited so long, and this is it?"

Gu Yifan was somewhat dissatisfied.

Tongzi, I'm not trying to criticize you, but even if I gave you a chance, you wouldn't be able to do it.

He didn't take the system's earlier message to heart, thinking perhaps the system was acting up again, and turned to leave.

A fork in the road not far away.

A furtive figure emerged from behind a tree, carrying a water bottle, his eyes fixed on the direction Gu Yifan had left in.

The hand resting on the tree trunk involuntarily clenched tighter.

Suddenly, a hand landed on him.

The furtive figure jolted, turned around, and heard his roommate asking him a question.

"Cao Guang, what are you doing standing behind the tree all by yourself? Are you going to get some water or not?"

Cao Guang's roommate, who was also carrying a water bottle, tilted his head and asked curiously.

He glanced at Cao Guang, then looked in the direction Cao Guang was looking.

Girls dormitory?

Cao Guang's roommate's expression went from puzzled to strange, and finally to sudden realization.

"Oh! You didn't secretly ask a girl to go fetch water with you, did you?"

"What do you mean by 'dating a girl'? I wouldn't do something so pointless."

Cao Guang's expression froze. He shook off his roommate's hand from his shoulder, turned around, and walked silently toward the dormitory.

"I'm not going, you go and fight."

"."

"Tch, this is ridiculous."

Cao Guang's roommate looked puzzled, shook his head, and left indifferently.

Suite 3601.

Gu Yifan pushed open the door and walked in, carrying large and small bags.

"I'm back! Look what I bought, it's all your favorite food, Wanyu."

Before returning to his apartment, Gu Yifan went to the supermarket and bought a lot of groceries.

I'll cook a lavish dinner myself and invite Ms. Hu to join me.

The living room was quiet.

Gu Yifan walked to the coffee table and put down his bags, only to find that Wan Yu didn't seem to be in the suite.

In contrast, a beautiful figure was slumped over a table in the restaurant.

Gu Yifan let out a soft exclamation and went over to take a look. It was Yifei, who had actually fallen asleep on the dining table.

Gu Yifan hesitated for a moment, then reached out and patted Yifei on the shoulder.

"Yifei, wake up."

"Yifei!"

Ms. Hu was sleeping soundly, and it took Gu Yifan two calls to wake her up.

Or rather, she woke up from a dream with a start.

"I don't"

Ms. Hu called out in a daze, almost unconsciously.

But through her sleepy eyes, she saw Gu Yifan standing in front of her with a smile on his lips.

"Why are you asleep on the dining table? Where's Wanyu?" Gu Yifan asked.

"You're back."

When Hu Yifei saw Gu Yifan, the shadow cast by her dream gradually faded away.

But when he mentioned Wanyu in every other sentence, his face fell again, and he muttered casually, "Wanyu went to the bar to hang out with Zeng Xiaoxian and the others."

"Oh, then why didn't you go with them?"

Seeing that Ms. Hu's expression had changed from sunny to cloudy again, Gu Yifan remained calm, pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her to ask.

"I don't want to move, I can't."

Ms. Hu's unreasonable yet assertive manner made Gu Yifan want to laugh.

Hu Yifei was in a bad mood, and seeing Gu Yifan's expression made her even angrier.

"What are you laughing at! Men are all the same, none of them are any good!"

Hu Yifei slammed her bare hand on the table, which shook violently and made a creaking sound that sent chills down one's spine.

Gu Yifan's body trembled.

Ms. Hu stood up aggressively, intending to walk out.

"Going back is pointless!"

But before she could take two steps, Gu Yifan reached out and grabbed her slender, fair wrist.

"What's wrong? What's upset you again?" Gu Yifan pulled Ms. Hu back from her standoff with a slight effort.

To deal with someone like Ms. Hu, you either need to be tougher, which might provoke her rebellious nature and make her go against you.

Alternatively, one can overcome strength with gentleness, using tenderness to soften steel and iron.

Seeing the slightly aggrieved expression on Ms. Hu's face, Gu Yifan thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Could it be that I refused Ms. Hu's invitation to dinner?"

Hu Yifei remained silent.

"It can't be that bad, can it?" Gu Yifan blinked, raised his hand to hug Ms. Hu, but she shook him off. However, Gu Yifan persisted and successfully pulled Ms. Hu into his arms.

"You're angry because of this?"

"That's not the only reason!"

Finally, feeling Gu Yifan's burning chest, Ms. Hu couldn't help but answer.

Gu Yifan: Well, it's not just because of this, there's something else too.

What a petty-minded Yifei!

"Then what else is it because of?" Gu Yifan chuckled inwardly, but still asked seriously on the surface.

But Ms. Hu fell silent again, it was unclear whether she didn't want to talk about it or was too embarrassed to.

Seeing this, Gu Yifan didn't press the matter. "It just so happens that I bought your favorite dishes and I'm planning to cook them tonight."

"No one would believe you bought it specifically for me."

Hearing Gu Yifan say that, Ms. Hu's bad mood improved a bit, but she still wouldn't let it go.

"Yes, Wanyu's share is too, so the three of us can eat together," Gu Yifan answered honestly.

Ms. Hu gritted her teeth and angrily pushed Gu Yifan away.

"You guys eat, I'm not hungry!"

After saying that, Ms. Hu turned and left without looking back.

However, Gu Yifan did glean something from Ms. Hu's tone.

"Oh? Sister Yifei, do you not want to eat, or do you not want to eat with Wanyu?"

Hu Yifei paused halfway through her walk.

She turned her head and saw Gu Yifan tilting his head to look at her, looking like he needed to be taught a lesson. She couldn't hold back any longer.

He turned around and pounced on Gu Yifan.

Her fists rained down on Gu Yifan.

"You're so smug, aren't you! You think you're the smartest? Go ahead and laugh at me, laugh at me!"

Gu Yifan naturally wouldn't stand still and let Ms. Hu hit him; he ran.

Ms. Hu's fist was unlike any other girl's; it really hurt.

But Gu Yifan's running away only made Ms. Hu angrier. "Don't run away!"

Only a fool wouldn't run.

"I said, let's talk this out!" Gu Yifan shouted as he turned around.

But Ms. Hu remained silent. Just as Gu Yifan ran to the sofa, he hesitated for a moment about how to get around it.

Seizing the opportunity, Ms. Hu pounced on Gu Yifan and pressed him onto the sofa. She then flipped over and pinned him beneath her, grabbing his collar with her delicate hand.

"Run, why don't you run?"

Ms. Hu, panting slightly, looked at Gu Yifan with a smug expression.

You were running really fast just now!

Gu Yifan sighed, as if resigned to his fate, "Before I die, I have only one request, Yifei, can you grant it to me?"

"Want to know why I'm angry? Hmph, then keep thinking about it." Ms. Hu wasn't going to fall for Gu Yifan's tricks. Don't worry, she wouldn't do anything to him, much less kill him. At most, she'd make him suffer for a few days.

But Gu Yifan shook his head, "That's not the requirement."

Ms. Hu, who was straddling Gu Yifan's lap, was taken aback. "What is that?"

But then a mischievous glint appeared in Gu Yifan's eyes, and his hands unexpectedly wrapped around Ms. Hu's supple waist.

A gentle press.

Ms. Hu's red lips were stolen by Gu Yifan.

"You bastard! You attacked me from behind! Let go!"

Ms. Hu was shocked and started hitting Gu Yifan on the back, trying to make him let go, but Gu Yifan ignored her.

Gradually.
Ms. Hu's fist, which had been about to strike, became limp and powerless, and her body was no longer tense.

In the end, she took the initiative and cupped Gu Yifan's cheeks. Gu Yifan tried to stop, but Ms. Hu held him firmly.

Can you kiss whenever you want, and not kiss whenever you don't want?

Where does that leave Hu Yifei's face?!

Hu Yifei seemed to want to vent all the grievances and tension in her heart.

After realizing that giving up and resisting was futile, Gu Yifan tried to regain control of the game.

Unfortunately, as soon as he stuck his tongue out, he felt a sharp pain.

Then a sweet aroma wafted out.

"Um!!!"

Hey, you've bitten me! Are you a tiger? Why are you biting people?

Faced with Gu Yifan's shocked gaze, Ms. Hu, who was a little guilty, became smug instead.

You chose him, Gu, the school's most handsome guy!

This subtle sweetness seemed to have triggered Ms. Hu's hidden violent tendencies.

She became gentler, but demanded even more.

Just when Gu Yifan felt that a whole day and night had passed.

"call"

Ms. Hu finally released Gu Yifan, wiped her even more vibrant red lips with the back of her fair hand, and wiped away a strand of crystal-clear saliva. She didn't care at all and looked down at Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan looked aggrieved, as if he had been crushed and drained of his marrow by a demonic woman from a cult, his clothes disheveled and his eyes unfocused.

"This is what happens when you mess with Hu Yifei!"

Ms. Hu's lips unconsciously curled up, feeling pleased with herself. She even pretended to be fierce, squinting her eyes and threatening Gu Yifan.

Gu Yifan also deeply realized that humanity's understanding of Hu Yifei was less than one percent of the truth.

Like a wild leopard, the smell of blood can actually ignite her hunting instincts.

"Now, Yifei, can you tell me what happened?" Gu Yifan asked, his tongue slurring.

"Pfft, stop pretending. You just bit a little bit and broke the skin. Speak normally." Hu Yifei was amused by Gu Yifan's slurred speech at first, but then softened and scolded him playfully.

"It's not you who's injured," Gu Yifan said with a sneer.

This timid appearance, coupled with Gu Yifan's perfect features, made Hu Yifei's heart beat faster uncontrollably.

It seems she hadn't explored Gu Yifan's potential enough before! Look at Gu Yifan now.
She loves it!

"Alright, as long as you don't provoke me again, I won't be angry." Ms. Hu chose to avoid answering Gu Yifan's questions.

But Gu Yifan wasn't about to let it go so easily.

He's injured, OK?

Moreover, the system's tone didn't go that far.

[Your essence and blood were partially drained by Master Hu using demonic cultivation techniques. Although it did not harm your life, it will leave you weak for several days and damage your vital energy. It is recommended that you replenish the deficiency as soon as possible.]

Look, look!
He was severely weakened.

Hu Yifei was still somewhat reluctant to speak, but considering her outburst earlier, which had even injured Gu Yifan, she hesitated.

"I'm telling you, you're not allowed to laugh at me, and you're not allowed to tell anyone!"

Seeing Ms. Hu hesitate, Gu Yifan nodded, "Don't worry."

Ms. Hu finally buried her head in Gu Yifan's shoulder and whispered the whole story to him.

It turned out that when Ms. Hu returned in the afternoon, she happened to run into Wanyu, who had gotten off work early and was feeling a bit bored at home.

At that moment, Ms. Hu had a sudden thought and, while chatting with Wanyu, tentatively asked her if she wanted to move back to live there for a while.

The reason is quite normal: she's the only one left in apartment 3603 now, and she's scared living alone in the whole suite.

Besides, she basically stays in 3601 every day, only going back to sleep at night. Sleeping in 3603 is no different from sleeping in 3601.

But to Ms. Hu's surprise, Wanyu did not agree.

Wan Yu's reasoning was quite reasonable. Moving back and forth like this was too much trouble, and besides, Sister Yu Mo would be back soon. If Yi Fei was lonely living in 3603, she could go and keep her company for a few days.

It doesn't seem to be a problem.

But Ms. Hu was still unhappy.

In her view, whatever reason Wanyu gave was just an excuse.

Wan Yu just wants to have Gu Yifan all to herself and doesn't want Ms. Hu to move back.

There's really nothing wrong with that.

After all, logically speaking, the young couple lives together and has their own private space, so they don't need to worry too much about other things.

But if you add an 'outsider', you have to be careful about many things.

Lin Wanyu had just experienced her mother living in a suite, which made her feel like a thief when she was intimate with Gu Yifan, so how could she be happy for Ms. Hu to move in?

But Hu Yifei believes that she is not an outsider.

Besides, she originally lived in 3601, but moved out to make Gu Yifan and Wan Yu's relationship possible. She was the one who sacrificed more.

Now I'm all alone in room 3603. I wanted to move back in for a couple of days, but Wanyu refused.

This made Ms. Hu very angry, and she couldn't swallow her anger.

Even her sense of crisis was triggered by this.

After all, Wan Yu was the official girlfriend, and Lin's mother had come to visit.

Hu Yifei says she won't compete with Wanyu for anything, but does she really have no thoughts at all?

So after Wan Yu rejected Hu Yifei, the suite fell into an awkward atmosphere.

Wan Yu also invited Hu Yifei to go downstairs to the bar to hang out with Zeng Xiaoxian and the others, but Ms. Hu, who was still angry, directly refused.

It can only be said that this collision was an inevitable outcome.

Gu Yifan, as the instigator, should naturally bear the greatest responsibility.

After listening to Ms. Hu's aggrieved accusations against Wan Yu, Gu Yifan knew that this matter was not the fault of any of them.

"Alright, Yifei, this is all my fault."

After a moment of silence, Gu Yifan said softly, "It was my greed that led to this situation."

There are some things that need to be faced.

Gu Yifan knew that if he continued to run away, he would definitely disappoint Ms. Hu, and the two of them would eventually become strangers.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

Therefore, Gu Yifan chose to face his mistakes and take responsibility, because he owed it to the girls around him.

"Looking at it this way, I'm actually the scumbag that you all hate, Sister Yifei."

Ms. Hu leaned quietly on Gu Yifan's shoulder, listening to him talk, and her originally frustrated and irritable heart gradually began to calm down.

Girls are different from boys.

No matter what kind of girl she is, even if it's Hu Yifei, what she just said wasn't about wanting to get anything in return.

After all, Hu Yifei herself knew that maintaining the current situation seemed to be the best outcome for everyone.

But she just wouldn't give in.

Although Wan Yu has a much better background and is younger, and seems to be the best choice for Gu Yifan, who can truly accept their own failure with a clear conscience?

She desperately needed an outlet to release the pent-up emotions within her.

She had been nagging Gu Yifan, and when she finally poured out all her troubles, she was hoping that Gu Yifan could comfort her and ease her anxiety.

"I'm sorry, Yifei. I've let you down all this time. I promised you I would talk to Wanyu about this, but I haven't been able to do anything about it. It's all my fault."

Hu Yifei bit her lip, feeling a surge of grievance, but more than anything, she had a thought: 'So he knew too.'

"So what, why are you, a grown man, babbling on and on? Can you really tell Wanyu these things?" Hu Yifei gritted her teeth and said in a muffled voice.

I thought Gu Yifan would remain silent, but to my surprise, he nodded. "Tonight, I'll just tell Wanyu what's going on."

Hu Yifei's body stiffened. She looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief, and blurted out, "You're crazy! No way!"

"Why not?" Gu Yifan asked Yifei calmly. "I should have told Wanyu about this mistake a long time ago. It was because of my selfish desire to have both of your love that I delayed it for so long."

"I'm sorry, Yifei. This is what I owe you."

As Gu Yifan spoke, he gently embraced Hu Yifei.

Hu Yifei's eyes were already red. She could tell that Gu Yifan wasn't trying to back down or deliberately saying these things to comfort her.

He means it.

After all, she had been Gu Yifan's bedmate for so long.

Hu Yifei asked herself if she was very accurate in sensing Gu Yifan's emotional changes. Just like now, Gu Yifan had clearly made up his mind.

But when it really came down to breaking through that barrier...

Hu Yifei hesitated, her instincts kicking in as she resisted.

Hu Yifei broke free from Gu Yifan's arm, gritted her teeth and said sharply, "No, you absolutely cannot tell Wanyu these things."

"If you tell Wanyu this all of a sudden, can she handle it? Can you bear the consequences? How am I supposed to face Wanyu after this?!"

Hu Yifei could imagine the earth-shattering scene that would unfold when Wanyu found out.

Wanyu learns that her best friend, the kind older sister she admires, has actually stolen her boyfriend.

What a blow this would be to Wanyu.

Besides, how could a proud young lady like Wanyu possibly accept that?

She'll definitely break up with Gu Yifan.

I will also cut off all contact with her.
Even Hu Yifei herself didn't believe that Wanyu would be willing to share Gu Yifan with her.

so.
Telling Wanyu about their relationship is an impossible, false proposition.

Trying to achieve this will only shatter the false harmony before our eyes, shattered by the cold and cruel reality.

At first, Hu Yifei stubbornly deceived herself, telling herself that she was not a mistress and that she might still share Gu Yifan with Wan Yu in the future.

But Hu Yifei just wanted this reason, as an excuse to put her at ease.

Deep down, she never had any expectations.

She just felt that if she didn't go crazy at least once in her life, her youth would truly be over.

Therefore, Hu Yifei is willing to maintain this relationship with Gu Yifan.

Perhaps one day she will get tired and bored, and silently break off contact, becoming friends or strangers again.

This is also because she felt that Gu Yifan being with Wan Yu was the best choice.

Now, Gu Yifan is actually going to take action.

Ms. Hu immediately panicked because she didn't want to see such a consequence.

Gu Yifan shook his head slightly, "Yifei, do you really think you can keep this from Wanyu forever?"

Hu Yifei's body stiffened.

She looked at Gu Yifan with a struggling gaze, only to see that Gu Yifan was also looking at her solemnly.

Although there was no concrete evidence, Gu Yifan was almost certain that Wan Yu had definitely noticed something.

You could say Wanyu is naive, but she's definitely not stupid; on the contrary, she inherited her parents' high intelligence.

Gu Yifan knew that if he really exposed all of this, the consequences could be very serious.

First, there's Wanyu's attitude. Will she break up with him in a fit of anger and leave Shanghai, never to return?

Secondly, there's her parents' attitude. After learning all this, Gu Yifan and his fledgling career will face a devastating blow, a complete catastrophe.

But Gu Yifan had no better choice.

He didn't want to deceive Wanyu anymore, even if it meant maintaining this facade. If the two continued like this until they got married, wouldn't Gu Yifan be an even bigger scumbag who cheated on his wife?

There's an old saying at Tokyo University: "Put yourself in a desperate situation and you will survive."

Gu Yifan was willing to gamble on what seemed like a minuscule chance. Moreover, Wan Yu's acceptance of all this, while seemingly a slim possibility, didn't actually have a low success rate.

Gu Yifan is, after all, a man who possesses a system.

Don't forget, the system previously reminded us that once the favorability rating reaches 100, it won't drop below 100.

This is also the source of Gu Yifan's confidence to choose to expose this matter.

Even if Wanyu finds it hard to accept and leaves in anger, Gu Yifan still has plenty of time and enough patience to find an opportunity to win Wanyu back.

This is quite selfish, but it's the best solution right now.

Hu Yifei thought about things more deeply than Gu Yifan.

She recalled the outrageous things that happened that night when she, Wanyu, and Yumo were all drunk.

Every time she thinks about it, Ms. Hu's face feels burning hot.

She still remembers, so how could Wanyu not remember?

There was also Wanyu's reaction before the Lunar New Year.

But Hu Yifei still felt that this was too risky. Compared to Wan Yu making a scene, leaving the apartment, holding a grudge against her, and never seeing her again, Hu Yifei preferred a different approach.

Hu Yifei prefers to maintain the current superficial harmony.

"No, I don't agree!"

Hu Yifei grabbed Gu Yifan's collar tightly, glaring at him menacingly, "If you dare to secretly tell Wanyu, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Gu Yifan: "."

Despite her seemingly calm and collected demeanor, Ms. Hu was actually still afraid.

Just as Gu Yifan blinked, about to say something...

The door was suddenly pushed open.

"Hehe, Feifei, are you still angry? I was wrong this afternoon. Why don't you move back in and live with us?"

Wan Yu's voice suddenly stopped halfway through.

Gu Yifan was startled when he heard the sound and quickly turned his head to look at the door.

Hu Yifei is the same.

By the time the two recognized the figure standing at the door, it was too late to react.

Doorway.

Lin Wanyu's smile hadn't faded yet. She stared blankly at Yifei, who was sitting on Gu Yifan's lap in an extremely intimate and ambiguous posture on the sofa, clutching his collar.

For a moment, it was as if a mute button had been pressed, and the living room fell into a deathly silence.

"Wanyu!"

Ms. Hu's voice was very sharp because she was too nervous, and she hurriedly got off Gu Yifan.

"Wanyu, why are you back? I mean, I was just dealing with Gu Yifan, don't misunderstand!" (End of Chapter)
